Pointless, don't think they make them, expensive as expletive. Micropolish yours and call it a day.

Wow if you could afford a Ti crank you shouldnt be driving a honda, you should be driving an enzo to work everyday.

He's joking around...

OEM crankshafts can support more power than you will make. Just use one of those...

sorry man, i was just kidding...i dont think anyone makes one because of cost and because the qualities of titanium dont make for a good crankshaft.

i agree with everyone else, just buy a stock one.

Okay just to let everyone know, they do make titanium crankshafts. Not for all cars but yes the do make them for Hondas. The only reason i am asking is because maybe someone knows a place where i can get them cheaper from what i have looked at, and i need something better than stock because I need something that will take the abuse from the turbo.

dude listen to these people, the stock crank (shaft) can withhold more power than you even plan on making.
FYI, you have a d series motor, just get a stock crank and turbo your car, get rid of the pipe dreams you have of making more power than your crank can handle.

just get ur stock crank shaft rebalanced and get it grinded. thats it. u dont need some stupid ti crank that if they even mak ur gonna spend like a billion dollars on it and not even notice a difference. plus with a turbo setup u want a somewhat heavier rotating mass. titanium lol. for a d? ur crazy lol. j/k stick with the stock crank thats all u need.

Just out of curiosity (and because I could use a laugh), what prices for titanium crankshafts have you seen, and who offers them?
